The state of in-situ stress is a major control parameter for multiple links including well location, fracture inspiration and reservoir assessment, so how to determine the accurate state of in-situ stress in the deep thermal reservoir becomes a core problem drawing widely attention and urgent to be solved. Based on features of hot dry rock reservoir in terms of temperature and pressure and the comparison analysis, this article proposes the method of Anelastic Strain Recovery(ASR) as an effective method for determining the state of in-situ stress in the area with HDR resources distributed and explains the availability of ASR method by application examples.展开更多

Based on the existence and the reaching conditions for the auto-stable region of two-order systems, a new synthesis method, auto-stable region approach is presented to construct a global stabilizing feedback law by using a positive definite function and a properly selected saturated function. This new approach is robust with respect to the bounded model uncertainties and is convenient for both analysis and engineering implemelltation.展开更多
